It's Not About Van Jones!

This morning I learned that Van Jones, the race baiter that he is, has resigned from his unconstitutionally appointed position.  Though I'm very happy to see a man (if you want to call him that) of this caliber fall in the demise of his own positions and words, I had the feeling of this has to be the beginning.  Jones needs to be the first of the approximately 44 (unofficial count, that I have found), that simply need to go.  This person has made the statement that there are forces that misconstrued his words and are the reason for his resignation.  Yes, these forces are the American Public who wants their government officials to be held accountable to their own words, associations and criminal history. 

There are approximately 3 dozen (official list) of these Czar positions.  However, I found another bloggers list of Czars that seems to me to be a little more in depth, http://investigatingobama.blogspot.com/2009/08/compleat-list-of-czars.html and appears to have more than the 3 dozen or so positions listed.  In fact, there are 44 positions, with 7 more being planned.  My thought after reading the list was this is an insane power grab by the executive branch.  But then I looked at Wikipedia’s list of past presidents and czars, and I was astounded to see this really didn't begin with Obama, rather with Roosevelt and good ol G. W. Bush’s expansion of the list.  Love him or hate him, he started the massive influx of unconstitutionally appointed positions.  After review there were several presidents who had their own Czar lists, but it was G. W. Bush, who made the list go into the stratosphere. Even the president’s I tend to despise the most, had relatively few (Roosevelt, Carter & Clinton).

Now, I'm not here to jump on Bush for the decision he made to expand the list of unconstitutionally appointed positions, nor am I going to jump on Obama for his decision to expand this list even further to the number approaching 51 from Bush's 36.  I am here to look at the positions, and call for the complete elimination of all of these unconstitutionally appointed positions.  Ok, you got me, yes I’m here to jump on both administrations for these positions. Just who the hell do these people think they are? The thought of the governments expansion, no matter it’s intent, can only have one outcome, TERRIBLE!.

To sum up my thoughts of Van Jones’ early retirement from government service, good riddance to bad rubbish. 

My thoughts on the entire Czar program, close it, NOW! 

My thoughts of Obama overall, RESIGN! 

My thoughts of all in the US Congress, DON’T SEEK RE-ELECTION! 

My thoughts on Glenn Beck and others who have been on this topic, KEEP IT UP!  

My thoughts to everyone reading this, take a stand, and tell this government you value your freedom and expect them to reduce costs, and programs by 99% within 10 years!

God Bless America!
